Chapter 122
Shen Yizhi no longer cared where he got the key. He quickly covered the painting and covered it with a piece of cloth for fear before getting up and going to the door.
It was too late to block the door anymore.
The door was pushed open.
Shen Yizhi just saw his figure clearly.
The scene suddenly turned upside down, and the person was carried on his shoulders.
Her head suddenly became filled with blood, and she slapped his back, "Pei Yanhe, put me down!"
The man walked steadily, holding her restless legs tightly, and stared straight ahead.
Walking into the bedroom, the light became dim.
Still no lights on.
"Bang——"
Shen Yizhi was thrown onto the bed, and the scene before her eyes was only a blur.
She secretly thought that something was wrong and stared straight ahead without any focus, trying to awaken the remaining humanity in him.
"Pei Yanhe, I don't want it today! Turn on the light!"
The sides of his body sagged, and his waist tightened.
Before Shen Yizhi could react, her back was already pressed against a strong chest.
Just as I was about to struggle, his low, hoarse voice sounded above my head.
"Don't move."
"Sleep vegetarian."
After a pause, Shen Yizhi blinked blankly, as if thinking about the truth in his words.
Pei Yanhe rested his chin on her head and said in a casual tone: "I won't lie to you."
Trust him for a short while.
Shen Yizhi let down her guard, and once she got used to the darkness before her, she began to recall what had just happened.
"Where's your key?"
He twitched his thin lips and said, "My home, what do you think?"
Shen Yizhi: “…”
That's where I failed.
After a while of silence, Shen Yizhi had no desire to sleep, and couldn't help but chattering: "Pei Shanshan, I think we have to set a rule in the future."
"Hmm?" He responded with a sound that vibrated through his chest.
Shen Yizhi continued, "For example, the vegetarians sleep on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th, and the meat-eaters sleep on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th."
"This is not only good for rest, but also... for the recovery of body functions. Without rules, there will be no order. If you don't restrain yourself... well!"
The body was suddenly turned over.
She was forced to face him head on.
Pei Yanhe interrupted her chatter, "Don't want to sleep? Then let's do something meaningful."
The hazy moonlight made his eyes dim, and they were fixed on her.
Shen Yizhi was frightened. He closed his eyes and kept saying, "Sleep, sleep, sleep."
Pei Yanhe let out a slight laugh from his nose.
That's all the courage I have.
-
In the next few days, perhaps because the exhibition was approaching, Pei Yanhe stopped bothering her.
Shen Yizhi was also completely immersed in his creation. Sometimes he would stay in the studio all day long, and when he came out it was already dark.
Pei Yanhe sat at the dining table waiting for her to come down and have dinner together.
Before going to bed, Pei Yanhe would hold her wrist and massage it for a while. Even when Shen Yizhi fell into a drowsy sleep, she could still feel the comfortable force coming from time to time.
This happened for several days in a row.
Until the day before the opening.
Shen Yizhi sat down at the table and asked casually, "Pei Shanshan, will you come to the first exhibition tomorrow?"
Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes as he picked up some food for her, looking quite serious. "Yes, I will come."
Shen Yizhi looked again and saw a small mountain piled up in the bowl. He hurriedly picked up the bowl and moved away from him.
"Pei Yanhe, you wouldn't even feed a pig like this!"
He stared at her for a long while, then suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek lightly.
“So, I feed the cat.”
Shen Yizhi retorted: "That's not how you feed a cat."
Pei Yanhe acted as if he hadn't heard her and raised his chin towards her, "Don't leave the table until you finish your meal."
Shen Yizhi gritted his teeth: “I protest!”
Pei Yanhe's face was expressionless: "Protest is invalid."
-
On the day of the exhibition.
Shen Yizhi arrived at the exhibition hall two hours early and instructed the staff to hang the oil painting that was just finished yesterday on the wall.
Cheng Zhuhan walked over and handed her a cup of coffee. "Figure oil painting doesn't seem like your style."
Shen Yizhi took it and took a sip, "Not bad for your first try, right?"
The main scene of the picture is a garden, with butterflies flying around. There seem to be a few tiny human figures in the dazzling and gorgeous sea of flowers, which is beautiful and romantic.
Cheng Zhuhan stared at it thoughtfully for a while, then praised it generously, "It's more than good, it's worthy of an award."
"So, it seems that your left hand is another kind of gain for you."
A blessing in disguise is also a kind of luck.
Shen Yizhi smiled calmly, "That's actually not wrong."
Cheng Zhuhan suddenly caught a glimpse of several black-clad bodyguards at the door. They looked serious and professional, not like they were hired by the exhibition hall, but more like private individuals.
She asked curiously, "Did you arrange the bodyguards at the door?"
Shen Yizhi glanced sideways and said, "Yes."
"Are you waiting for Rewi Alley?" Cheng Zhuhan asked, "Her reputation is ruined, her status has plummeted, will she still come?"
Shen Yizhi was certain: "She will come."
It was obvious that Ai Li was not used to her high-spirited look.
The exhibition begins.
The barrier at the entrance was removed, and many people came in one after another.
There are fans who have followed the art for many years, passers-by who love art, and fans who were attracted by the hot searches a few days ago and came here to see the art.
The exhibition hall suddenly became crowded.
Shen Yizhi stood at the railing on the second floor, quietly looking at the people coming and going below.
"I've been curating for so many years, but I've never seen so many people on the first day of an exhibition." Cheng Zhuhan couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Yizhi looked dazed for a moment, "I didn't expect that either."
Cheng Zhuhan patted her shoulder and smiled: "The most important thing is that you are worth it."
"Oh yes, when will your Mr. Pei come?"
Shen Yizhi shrugged, “I don’t know, he didn’t tell me the specific time.”
A bodyguard in black walked up the stairs on one side and whispered something in Shen Yizhi's ear.
Shen Yizhi responded twice, then turned to Cheng Zhuhan and said, "I'll go down and meet this friend who has been waiting for a long time."
Cheng Zhuhan guessed something and responded: "Okay"
The black-clad bodyguard led the way to a deserted back door.
Ai Li's hands were held up, and there was a paint bucket at his feet that had not yet been splashed.
Seeing Shen Yizhi appear, she glared at him fiercely, "Shen Yizhi, let me go!"
Shen Yizhi stopped in front of her, looking down at her from above. "The saying 'a dog can't change its eating habits' is truly an eternal truth."
Ai Li paused in her struggle, surprised: "You knew I would come?"
Shen Yizhi pulled his lip: "Don't you always like to do these despicable tricks?"
"That's because you always look down on others!"
Ai Li looked at Shen Yizhi with eyes that seemed to hold knives, wishing he could stab her immediately. "I am in this state now because of you!"
"You should be very happy, right? You have popularity, fans, an art exhibition, and even if your right hand is broken, you still have your left hand."
She scoffed, "And me? Everything is gone! The internet is full of negative information about me! These days I can't even open my phone because as soon as I open it I get harassing calls and text messages!"
"All this is because of you! Shen Yizhi!"
